Bushings help support your steering components and allow them to move smoothly. Over time, everyday driving, heavy loads, rough roads, and constant vibration can wear them down.

Signs your bushings may need attention include:

• Uneven tire wear
• Pulling while braking or accelerating
• Clunking or knocking noises
• Loose or wandering steering
• Excessive steering play

Replacing worn bushings early can help prevent more expensive steering and suspension repairs later.

The kingpin is an important part of your truck’s steering system. As bushings and surrounding components wear, the bores can become oversized. Installing new bushings alone may not restore the correct fit.

Boring and bushing repair can restore the fit of the assembly where the component’s condition allows. We assess the axle and the repair needed before recommending whether to repair or replace it. See our kingpin repair services for related front-end work.
